"The origin story of our system is violence. Violence has its roots in poverty and family and spills into society. Why not lock up the pathology of violence?"--Dr. Basiyr Rodney #PRJS #RISEREVOLTREPEAT #AbsoluteJustice
"I am representing the struggle for absolute justice myself -- thinking about how we support our brothers and sisters in life and in humanity."--Dr. Basiyr Rodney (@rasbas) #PRJS #RISEREVOLTREPEAT #AbsoluteJustice
"It's important to think about how can we as humans really transform how we engage with each other. Racial categorizations are socially constructed. There's no scientific basis for them."--Dr. Rasheeda Ahmad of @aaj_women #PRJS #RISEREVOLTREPEAT #AbsoluteJustice
"The over policing and dehumanization of Black bodies as a legacy of white supremacy persists."--Dr. Rasheeda Ahmad of @aaj_women #PRJS #RISEREVOLTREPEAT #AbsoluteJustice
"We need to be immersed in the great soul work to truly be working for social justice . . . Our society can no longer be lulled into a false sense of being in a post-racial society."--Dr. Rasheeda Ahmad #PRJS #RISEREVOLTREPEAT #AbsoluteJustice
"I'm focusing on prosecutors because they have the power -- they are educated. Unfortunately, the golden rule for human relations is lost in this process. We need absolute justice in our penal code system." --Saif Rahman #PRJS #RISEREVOLTREPEAT #AbsoluteJustice
"Unfortunately, the courts and prosecution have been focused for a long time on extraordinary criminal sentences due to enhancements. In most cases, judges don't have the ability to strike them."--Saif Rahman #PRJS #RISEREVOLTREPEAT #AbsoluteJustice
"For $200 in terms of cash bail, many people languish in prison. We propose that we take many of the off-ramps before this process ripens."--Abdul Latif Balanta #PRJS #RISEREVOLTREPEAT #AbsoluteJustice
"The American criminal justice system has necessary checks and balances more than any system in the world, but that's only in theory. Biases in determination of bail are baked into the system."--Abdul Latif Balanta #PRJS #RISEREVOLTREPEAT
"No mother would have done what the officer did to George Floyd or Breonna Taylor or Eric Garner. Injustice would cease if we have the level of love to others as a mother has of her child."--Imam Azhar Haneef #PRJS #RISEREVOLTREPEAT
"At some point you have to go beyond a basic sense of justice to a next level of goodness -- that is kindness. But we strive even higher to such benevolence to others that is the pinnacle of human relations: kinship."--Imam Azhar Haneef #AbsoluteJustice #PJRS #RISEREVOLTREPEAT
